R&B singer Chris Brown arrives at a Los Angeles Superior Court for a probation review hearing in Los Angeles.

R&B star Chris Brown is back in jail after being arrested in Malibu on a warrant related to his 2009 conviction for assaulting ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department, Brown was picked up at 2 p.m. on March 14 at a Malibu rehabilitation facility for violating his parole, reported Variety online.

He is being held without bail at the Los Angeles County jail in downtown Los Angeles.

A warrant was issued for Brown after the singer was booted from the Malibu rehab facility, where he has been seeking treatment for the last four months.

During a court appearance last month, the facility confirmed that Brown had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, severe insomnia, and post traumatic stress disorder.

The exact cause as to why Brown, 24, was kicked out of the rehab remains unknown.
